Star Wars Day Celebrations: First Photos Of Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie Released #MayTheFourthBeWithYou

Star Wars: The Force Awakens celebrated May 4, also known as Star Wars Day and “May the Fourth Be With You,” by revealing the characters played by Lupita Nyong’o, Adam Driver and Gwendoline Christie.

Star Wars: New Photos Of Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie

To celebrate May 4, Vanity Fair released a sneak peek at exclusive photos from Annie Leibovitz, to be published in the June issue of the magazine. The photos include previously seen new characters, including John Boyega’s Finn and Daisy Ridley’s Rey who appear on the cover alongside Peter Mayhew’s Chewbacca and Harrison Ford’s Han Solo.

Not featured on the cover are fellow newcomers Driver, Nyong’o and Christie. All three actors have so far remained out of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens spotlight, with very little information about their characters released up to this point. New photos, however, confirm that Driver is, indeed, playing the new baddie Kylo Ren. In the photo released by Vanity Fair, Driver “commands snowtroopers loyal to the evil First Order on the frozen plains of their secret base.”

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will open in theaters on Dec. 18.
